Trustees required with various skills and experience
Treasurer required with accountancy or similar qualification
London and Home Counties
We are partnering with the Social Interest Group (‘SIG’) to appoint new Trustees to join their board. SIG brings charities together to work under one umbrella focusing on delivering good quality social and health care services.

SIG’s Mission is to create solutions that bridge the gaps in local health and social care, getting people out of hospital, out of prison and off the streets.
SIG is a not-for-profit organisation (the parent company), who together with their subsidiary charities SIG Penrose, SIG Housing Trust, SIG Equinox, SIG Pathways to Independence and SIG Safe Ground, work to tackle social and health care inequalities and aid recovery, reablement and resettlement in order to ensure that people in our society have every opportunity to live fulfilled, healthy and constructive lives. They do so across London, Brighton, Bedfordshire, Luton, and Kent. They also support people in prisons, currently delivering services in Liverpool.

- Delivering excellence and innovation
- Promoting equality and mutual respect
- A belief that positive change is possible
- Involving and consulting service users
- Active citizenship and community involvement
- Valuing staff, harnessing their full potential

The successful candidates will demonstrate:

The Bromley Experts by Experience Treasurer will help the board of trustees carry out their financial responsibilities, working closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chair of Trustees and staff team in establishing strong foundations for this Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation with a view to a financially sustainable future. You will also be supporting us in developing our future approach to financial management, making the most of financial modelling, and supporting clear reporting to funders, partners and stakeholders.
The Treasurer will play a vital role, working with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chair of Trustees and staff team to help the organisation ensure sound financial records, develop income streams, and build impact reports. As part of a new, expanded board of trustees at Bromley Experts by Experience, you will provide effective financial oversight, supporting the CEO and senior staff members in developing our vision and strategy to ensure a financially sustainable future.
IMPORTANT: As a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation, our governing articles require that our staff, trustees and volunteers bring with them lived experience of disability (self-identified or otherwise). See how we define this below.
Responsibilities of the Treasurer:
- Present financial reports to the board in a format that helps fellow trustees understand X by X Bromley’s financial position.
- Advise the board on how to carry out its financial responsibilities.
- Work with professional advisors and staff, as needed to oversee the preparation and scrutiny of annual accounts.
- Ensure X by X Bromley activities benefit its members and beneficiaries.
- Ensure the board fulfils their duties and responsibilities for effective charity governance in line with Bromley Experts by Experience’s policies and the requirements of the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
- Support and advocate for X by X Bromley’s mission, vision and values.
What we ask of you:
- The Treasurer should expect to serve for a minimum of 12 months.
- The Treasurer is required to attend scheduled meetings with some ad hoc meetings where necessary.
- It is anticipated that the time commitment will be an approximate average of 2.5 hours per week. This will mainly comprise of:
- Board meeting attendance (plus preparation thereof) every 8 weeks,
- AGM attendance (plus preparation of papers and accounts),
- Supporting our annual Disability Pride event.
- Regular scheduled meetings with senior staff.
- As we are a very small charity, there could be occasions when extra time will be required (e.g. during the planning of new projects or dealing with any particular difficulties that arise), or where additional support would be appreciated (e.g. attending events, meeting members at project days).
Key Skills and Qualities:
- Lived Experience of disability (can be self-identified)
- A belief that Disabled People can and should be actively welcomed and included in our communities. An understanding that it is barriers in society that make that harder. This is called the Social Model of Disability.
- A qualified accountant with not-for-profit awareness and knowledge. An understanding of very small charities and/or DDPOs would be advantageous.
- Competent IT skills, including working knowledge of QuickBooks and Excel.
- Ability to communicate and explain financial information accessibly.
- Strong analytical and evaluation skills, demonstrating professional and independent judgement.
- A genuine interest in local communities and people.
- Strong leadership and communication skills, communicating in a way that is accessible to you.
- Understanding of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship, the Treasurer role, and the financial aspects of running a charity.
- An effective team worker, contributing an independent perspective.
- Possess and demonstrate integrity, objectivity, accountability, and honesty.
- Commitment to Bromley Experts by Experience’s aims, objectives and values.
The Treasurer must be legally eligible to stand as a registered Company Director and Charity Trustee. Having had previous experience as a trustee of a voluntary organisation is an advantage.
The Treasurer will require a DBS Check to be completed.
What we mean by lived experience of disability:
As we follow the Social Model of Disability, our definition of Disabled person includes anyone who is being discriminated against or disabled by barriers in society, including:
- People with physical impairment
- People with visual impairment
- Deaf people
- People with hearing impairment
- People who are neurodivergent
- People with learning difficulties/disabilities
- People who experience mental health conditions/mental distress
- People with long-term health conditions
We recognise that a lot of these impairments are invisible and many people have more than one impairment.
We work to create inclusive and accessible communities in Bromley and beyond to enable Deaf and Disabled people to participate fully in society.
